41 Yr Old Mom of Twins, 9 Yr Wait for TT, Lipo of Hips and Flanks - Reston, VA

Today I went to motherhood maternity in search of a few pairs of pants to wear during this next phase of my recovery. No..not pregnant but a friend suggested I get maternity pants since they have the padded belly. I'm four weeks postop and I still cannot wear my normal pants yet other than leggings and pajamas. I can't wear those to work everyday so decided to see what they had.
They were very kind and showed me postpartum pants. They are perfect for what we ladies need. They are black leggings and they have a tight compression at the belly. I tried them on at the store while I was wearing my Spanx and it was super tight so I'm going to try them with only the pants. Here are pics below. They are very comfy and supportive. I hope they can work for some of you too.

Here's my four week postop update. I started back to work this week. As a preschool special-education teacher I am on my feet all day. Thankfully my assistant teacher has been phenomenal and helped with all the things that out I'm not yet able to do. I carpooled to work because I still don't feel comfortable driving. Turning left and right with my torso has been a little tricky. Since I have the option to carpool I thought I'd go ahead and take it. Each day was better and better because I was able to focus more on teaching then on recovering. But as the day went on I definitely was swelling more than normal I think because I was more active. By the end of each evening I was so swollen and pooped that I was crashing by 930 or 10 o'clock. So far I am happy with my results but I feel like I still have a ways to go. I feel like my one hip still looks larger than the other, sort of disproportionate to each other. But it's still 100 times better than it was. I'm still very sore at all my lipo areas. I'm still sleeping on my back with two pillows under my knees and a heating pad on low on my back. I still cannot sleep on my side yet. I'm still wearing my binder to work every day but I'm going to try the compression garment/spanks this weekend.

17 days postop. Starting to see the light a little bit more. My tummy is definitely flat in the morning but by afternoon/evening it's very hard and swollen.
